0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Westchester SC is a regional soccer club competing in the USL League One, providing soccer programs and community engagement in the Westchester area. The website serves as a hub for club information, schedules, and league affiliations. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with React components, leveraging modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and TikTok Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and uses GTranslate for multilingual support. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but lacks visible security headers in the HTML source. Privacy compliance is limited with no explicit privacy or terms of service pages detected. WHOIS data is unavailable or private, which slightly reduces trust but the site’s affiliation with USL and professional design supports legitimacy.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Westchester SC operates within the sports and community sector, focusing on soccer development and competition. The club is positioned as a small but important entity within the USL League One ecosystem, linking extensively to partner leagues and clubs. The business model centers on sports club operations, community engagement, and youth/adult soccer programs. The website’s extensive external linking to USL and related soccer clubs indicates a strong partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active league participation and digital presence with modern marketing and analytics tools. The absence of direct contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of reputable analytics and marketing scripts. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy in the HTML source is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source. The site uses third-party scripts which should be regularly audited. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, though a cookie consent mechanism is present via Osano. Incident response and security policy information are not found, indicating limited transparency in security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Audit third-party scripts regularly to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security or abuse contacts to improve incident response readiness and user trust.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform enhanced with React for dynamic components. It uses a well-known theme (SportsEngine) and integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, TikTok Pixel, ShareThis, and GTranslate for multilingual support. The site loads resources asynchronously to optimize performance, and fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in security header implementation and possibly hosting provider transparency. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities are evident from the source.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
